Paper Title:
EFFECTIVENESS OF THERAPEUTIC HORSE BACK RIDING SIMULATORS OVER HIPPOTHERAPY ON SITTING BALANCE IN SPASTIC CEREBRAL PALSY CHILDREN -A LITERATURE REVIEW BASED COMPARATIVE STUDY
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: In the recent literature we can find many articles dealing with effectiveness of therapeutic horseback riding simulator over hippotherapy for the sitting balance in spastic cerebral palsy children. Cerebral palsy (CP) is a static, non-progressive disorder caused by brain insult or injury occurs before birth, around the time of birth. Postural control is key important for performing daily activities like sitting, standing and for gait. Lack of postural control is one of the major problems faced by most of the cerebral palsy children. Horseback riding simulator (THRs) consists of devices that mimic movement of real horse. Hippotherapy is cost effective and it is uncommonly used therapeutic approach in cerebral palsy children in the training of postural control. This study is to review literature and to compare the effectiveness of therapeutic horseback riding simulator (JOBA, Panasonic inc.) over hippotherapy on sitting balance in spastic cerebral palsy children.
AIM AND OBJECTIVES: To review the literature on the comparison of the effectiveness of therapeutic horse back riding simulators over hippotherapy on sitting balance by Pediatric Balance Test ( PBS) , Gross Motor Function Measures – 66 Sitting Dimension (GMFM-66 ) in spastic cerebral palsy children.
METHODOLOGY: Due to Covid-19, we carried the review of literature and analysed the publications from past 20 years. Herewith submitting the review of the study named A Comparative Study on the effectiveness of therapeutic horse back biding simulators over hippotherapy on sitting balance in spastic cerebral palsy children. This literature review focused on controlled randomized studies, reviews, meta-analysis published in the English language from 2000-2020.
The research was conducted by using fallowing search engines: Google scholar, PubMed and MEDLINE with fallowing key words: Cerebral Palsy, Spasticity, Therapeutic Horse Back Riding simulator, Hippotherapy, Sitting Balance.
RESULTS: 40 articles were reviewed in this study,18 were excluded although the current level of evidence is weak, our review found that children with spastic CP, Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels I–III, aged 5 years and above were likely to have significant improvements on gross motor function and their sitting balance , as a result of hippo therapy and therapeutic horse back riding simulator. Evidence indicates that 40-min a session, 3times a week for 8–16 weeks, result in significant effects.
CONCLUSION: This review concluded that sitting balance is recovered by using Therapeutic horse back riding simulator than hippotherapy through the mechanism of sensorimotor stimulation, increased righting and equilibrium reactions. The improvement in functionality was found to be greater in spastic type of CP than the other types. It appears that therapeutic horse back riding simulator has shown more effect on the improvement of gross motor function and sitting balance than hippotherapy in children with spastic cerebral palsy.
